It's not his fault he's getting in our squad though, you need to be looking at decisions made in the boardroom and by past and current managers. He's trying but he's just not at the required level for a Championship team.

My main problem is considering he's supposed to be one of us playing for his club, the lack of fire and effort, the lack of effort to bust a gut trying to chase back or get back into position. He all too often loses concentration, can be incredibly sloppy and at times seems oblivious to what's going on around him.

I know confidence must be low, the atmosphere isn't as good as it could be, but surely you knuckle down, put the effort in and try to do the basics right, yes we all make mistakes, but you get back and try rectify those mistakes.

Aye, pretty obvious to anyone who has ever played football to even Sunday League Pub level. The lad was a wreck, he did not want the ball, he'd gone, was shot to poo. And yet we did not substitute him. A pathetic, inexcusable decision by professional football people who should know better, an utter shambles to leave the lad on when he was going through the mill like that.

He had a mare tonight absolutely and we said his head had gone when he smashed that shot/cross 10 yards high and wide.

The booing without doubt increases pressure and I just don’t get it. He is not Roland Nilsson without a doubt but there is an Internet lemming witch hunt out for the poor lad which is ridiculous, he is definitely not as bad as people too easily say. Admittedly he had an absolute shocker tonight though.

Couple of times tonight he had the chance to run with the ball down the wing as there was acres of space in front of him and each time he checked back and hit a little nothing pass sideways. I booed him both times and make no apologies for it. It's called frustration.
